Fishing the Myriad Heavens - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Restored!

Translator: AstralGhost  Editor: Kurisu

The emperor scorpion was extremely huge, and its armor was incredibly hard. There was only a single wound on the scorpion’s body which was on its head. A less than five cm big hole could be found on its skull, directly beside its brain. A sharp aura could be felt from the wound, and it was obvious that this creature had been killed in one strike.

“Dang!”

The sturdy shell was slowly cracked open, revealing the snowy white flesh within. A unique smell immediately rose into the air.

This smell was extremely strong when it first appeared, and was extremely pungent, causing others to feel disgusted. But about 10 seconds later, the pungent odor would suddenly seem to smell extremely delicious, to the point where one’s drool would roll out of their mouths uncontrollably. The entire experience felt like coming back alive from a state of death.

Without adding any other ingredients, the snow-white emperor scorpion’s flesh was cut into strips and delivered to Bei Feng.

Bei Feng grabbed a piece of the steaming flesh with his chopsticks and carefully placed it in his mouth. There wasn’t any of the acrid taste of normal venemous creatures’ flesh; instead, it contained a faint sweetness which melted in the mouth. The meat’s texture was extremely unique as well, and felt like glutinous rice. Added on to its tenderness, the emperor scorpion was a dish that caused one to hve endless aftertastes.

The two Demonic Beasts were both very high-grade creatures, and even though Bei Feng was not an ordinary Second Layer cultivator, he was still completely stuffed after eating just several dozen jin of meat.

After Bei Feng finished eating, the 10 guards took turns to eat, with half guarding while the rest ate.

As for Bei Feng, he just went to the side and practiced the Form and Will Fist. Even though he had grasped the Dragon Form, Bear Form, and Eagle Form already, that was with his old body. Right now, he needed to accustom his body to those form techniques.

With all the experience from his previous training in his mind, it only took a few rounds of practice before his movements became fluid and smooth.

“Old Master, what’s this fist technique? It’s so strong!”

Lu Bu’s eyes widened with amazement as he watched Bei Feng’s display. It wasn’t that Bei Feng was strong, but the martial technique was extremely powerful!

Although Earth’s martial techniques differed from the ones on Tianmu Planet, the difference in power could still be seen with a single eye.

As Bei Feng trained, the food he’d eaten was quickly digested, turning into blood and Qi energy.

At the same time, he breathed in the Heaven Earth Lingqi continuosly. The Form and Will Fist was a martial technique that focused mainly on internal energy, and energy was passed from within to outside!

After cultivating for half an hour, the team had finished eating. Bei Feng received a towel from Lu Bing and wiped his sweat off.

The group quickly proceeded further into the forest, heading deeper.

Three days later, the trees before them had grown larger and larger. The cries of Demonic Beasts also grew louder, and sounded out from all sides.

This place was already very deep within the Hundred Break Mountain Range’s peripherals. It was a completely wild area, untraversed by men. The chance of obtaining all kinds of natural treasures had risen as well. However, the number of Demonic Beasts had increased along with it.

The group would often come across a Demonic Beast, and in this place, Hundred Year realm Second Layer Demonic Beasts had become more uncommon. Bei Feng nodded his head, very satisfied with this location.

Bei Feng nodded his head lightly and thought, ‘After entering the mountain range, as we get closer to the center, the density of the Heaven Earth Lingqi would rise a level. The Heaven Earth Lingqi density at this place had fulfilled the requirements for me to cultivate with.’

If they went further in, they might meet with a dangerous situation.

“This is the place. Lu Bing, bring half of the men to look for a suitable camping site,” Bei Feng instructed.

“This subordinate understands.”

Lu Bing nodded and brought four guards away.

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief secretly as he heard this, glad that the old master wasn’t intending to go further in. It wasn’t a joke to continue onwards like that—one would encounter large numbers of Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts deeper into the mountain range. If they only met one or two, they might still be able to cope with it. But if they met three together, or a single high level Fourth Layer Demonic Beast, none of them could think about surviving.

While everyone waited anxiously, Lu Bing and the rest finally came back and led the group towards riverbank beside a waterfall.

This place was a small-scale gorge which was easy to defend but hard to attack. There wasn’t any need to worry about water, and since they were preparing to stop for a long time, they naturally had to choose a good location.

Bei Feng was very satisfied with this area too, and decided to set up camp on the spot.

After speaking, Bei Feng found that he had nothing to do for now. All the troublesome tasks were being handled by the guards.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been fishing. Should I rebind a new fishing gateway?’

Bei Feng scratched his chin and considered. Hearing the faint gushing sound of water, his thoughts inadvertently returned to the fishing system.

“System, bind this location as the new fishing gateway.”

Bei Feng walked along the bank upstream. The area upstream was a small waterfall, while the area below it was a dozens of meters lake.

“Ding! Binding successful.”

In almost the instant Bei Feng’s words landed that the System immediately replied. However, while the new gateway was succesfully set, it still needed a period of time before he could commence fishing.

Lu Bu followed closely behind Bei Feng, unable to make out what the latter was doing.

Not bothering himself with the tasks of the rest, Bei Feng brought Lu Bu along with him and walked into the gorge.

Lu Bu saw that they were walking towards the forest near the gorge. Not daring to be careless, he hurriedly asked, “Old Master, are you going inside there? Let me call a few more guards to follow us.”

“The term old master isn’t too nice to hear, just call me family head from now on. There aren’t many Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts in this area yet, so there isn’t a need to be so cautious.”

Bei Feng shook his head and declined. Every time he heard the words ‘old master’, the image of a fat wealthy man in silken robes appeared in his mind.

“Yes!”

Lu Bu did not insisit further. This place wasn’t that dangerous; they only needed to be more careful. Unless they became surrounded by numerous Fourth Layer Demonic Beasts, he had complete confidence in bringing Bei Feng with him to escape.

Bei Feng’s speed was not slow, and as they dashed through the forest, a series of afterimages was left behind them.

“Grr!”

A black tiger happened to be choking a huge fat pig in its mouth. At this time, it turned its eyes to look warily at the two humans that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The tiger could feel a great amount of danger from these humans, but it wasn’t willing to let go of the prey in its mouth. In that moment, it could only growl lowly, hoping to scare the two humans away.

“That’s a Second Layer Black Heart Tiger. Family Head, allow me to kill it for you.”

“Hold on!”

Just as Lu Bu raised his arms, ready to smack the foolish Demonic Beast to death, Bei Feng’s eyes lit up as he stopped Lu Bu with a command.

Before Lu Bu could react, Bei Feng had already dashed out as a Bear Style paw smashed towards the Demonic Beast!

“Ang!”

The Black Heart Tiger roared angrily as it let go of the pig in its mouth. In that moment, it’d decided to bite off this damned human’s palm first!

“Heaven Sky Wings!”

Bei Feng stepped to the side lightly as if he’d already anticipated the response of this Demonic Beast. His body slided by the tiger’s side, and he could even feel the wind roused up by the tiger’s body as well as its foul breath beside him.

Turning around nimbly, his fists opened into a palm, and a hand knife sliced towards the tiger’s neck!

“Pa!”

A look of astonishment flashed across the tiger’s eyes as its jaws missed Bei Feng completely. However, its instincts still held out as it swung its powerful tail towards Bei Feng!

As though space had been rended apart, a crisp sound rang out. Seeing the tail smacking towards him, Bei Feng did not move a muscle, and only watched it approach him silently.

“Pu-chi!”

With a light sound, the Black Heart Tiger’s head and its body suddenly seperated in two. The tiger which had just been rousing its blood and Qi to charge at Bei Feng was suddenly decapitated, causing the rampaging blood and Qi to suddenly flow out of control. In an instant, all the blood and Qi gushed towards the wound and spurted out!

The blood gushed out like a fountain, and a pungent smell of blood instantly covered the area.

Lu Bu’s face completely froze with shock. Never would he have expected that a Black Heart Tiger that was also at the Second Layer of the Hundred Year realm, and even slightly stronger than the family head, would be completely overpowered, and didn’t even manage to block a single blow from the latter!

The reason why he hadn’t stopped Bei Feng from charging out was because Bei Feng had already told them the reason for his visit to the Heaven Connecting Tower this time. Furthermore, this was just a Second Layer Demonic Beast, and he had complete confidence of saving the family head if anything went wrong.

The way Lu Bu looked at Bei Feng right now was even stranger. As a private guard of the Lu Family, he naturally understood the matters related to the old master. But it was because of this knowledge that he was even more shocked!

But soon, everyone would grow used to the perverse strength of this old family head. Time slowly passed; Bei Feng only concentrated on hunting down Demonic Beasts daily like a madman. At night, he would cultivate diligently, and also study the Yin-Yang School’s legacy.

Three months later, a long howl rang out from below the waterfall as a powerful aura burst outwards in all directions!

The roar only disappeared after a long time. A human figure appeared under the waterfall.

“Boom!”

Bei Feng slowly stood up as a bright gleam flashed in his eyes. His bones emanated loud booming sounds like thunder as he moved his limbs.

‘Three months. I’ve finally returned to the Controlled Dan level of strength; the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm!’

Throughout this period of time, Bei Feng had consumed an uncountable amount of Demonic Beast meat and natural treasures. With him cultivating painstakingly, he’d finally returned to his previous cultivation!

Bei Feng’s looks underwent another transformation, from looking in his 40s to a 30-something years old man in his prime.

At this point, Bei Feng could truly say that this body belonged to him. He was no longer a foreign invader in somebody else’s home. Even if a blood test was initiated, there wouldn’t be any links left with Lu Qintian. The blood and cells in the body was now exactly the same as Bei Feng’s back in his previous world!

The soul was the root of the body, and with the soul transforming the body, even the blood formed from the body’s marrow would carry Bei Feng’s unique mark!

If Bei Feng had not been spending time to lay a good foundation with the Minor Illumination Body Tempering technique, he would have broken through a long time ago.

“Congratulations on breaking through, Family Head!”

Lu Bu, Lu Bing, and the rest were guarding the area not far away, and when they heard the commotion, they immediately rushed over. When everyone felt Bei Feng’s aura, they were naturally shocked speechless.

When they first set out, they heard that the old family head had only recently broken through to the Second Layer of the Hundred Year realm, and he’d done that at the ripe old age of 92. Based on the circumstances, there should be no possibility for him to achieve another breakthrough without encountering a heaven-defying opportunity.

Nobody would have expected that the old family head would only use three months to break through to the next stage! Such an achievement was beyond terrifying!

‘Great vessels are late in completion!’

Such a thought appeared in everyone’s minds. Only such an explanation could justify the fashion in which this old family head had cultivated to the next level in just three months after miraculously escaping death and breaking through to the Second Layer!

The phrase “great vessels are late in completion” refered to people who were ordinary at the start, to the point where they were left far behind their peers, then began to grow in strength later on in life, displaying an even more impressive spurt of growth than geniuses.

The city lord of the Sky City was a typical example of a late bloomer. His talent was extremely ordinary at the start, and by the time his peers reached the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, he was still stuck at the First Layer. But at age of 50-plus, he suddenly entered a sudden spurt of growth!
